“Words don’t come easy..” this song has been repeating in my head since morning, for some reason today i felt that i totally understand whoever was singing, they are not, not easy at all. We are slaves of every word we say, the super psychological experience and the very deep thinking you’ve been doing means absolutely nothing if you can’t put it into words, only then it will sound as pathetic as it really is.

“I understand”, after 2 hours of word puking this is all you have to say, frankly I don’t think you do, in fact you don’t even know what I’m talking about, and by god i am not underestimating your intelligence, what goes on in my mind is nothing supernatural, but as soon as it grows out of my mouth, it takes the shape of something familiar, something you’ve heard before, perhaps in a movie, maybe you’ve actually used the same words to describe something totally different, thus you think you understand.........i don’t really blame you, this is the purpose of language in the first place, communication , we have to minimize and compress what we want to communicate, put it into few words that the other can relate to, we always try to reach this state of “I understand you” that technically doesn’t exist. Words are just references...

To the stranger who likes Kafka,

The intention was not to impress you, I only thought you’d understand
